A CASE FOR THE SOCIAL ENTERPRISE COMMUNITY TO BUILD A DATAWAREHOUSE AND ADOPT BI TOOLS.

- Abstract
Associations of social entrepreneurs, funders, academics, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, all have vast bodies of knowledge related to social issues such as poverty, homelessness, hunger - and how these organizations are having an impact on reducing them. The knowledge exists in multiple forms - video, audio, white papers, case studies, etc. The largest social enterprises have online repositories of these materials in databases such as MySQL. What is missing is a database connection between these stakeholders (which can be considered communities of practice involved in solving social issues), and business intelligence tools, to allow practitioners from across the world access these various repositories of knowledge, information, and data. We propose that social entrepreneurship associations form a knowledge coalition/partnership to explore the benefits and logistics of cocreating a data warehouse for the benefit of the world-wide community of practice.
